Use dipstick to determine fluid exact level.
Warm Fluid Level Check: The transmission should be at operating temperature [190° F(90° C)] maximum to
receive an accurate oil level reading.
Cold Fluid Level Check: To ease checking fluid level, the dipstick can be marked or scribed. First the procedure
for warm fluid level must be performed, then allow boat to sit overnight. Remove and wipe clean the dipstick.
Insert clean dipstick and mark the cold fluid level.

Important Information
Shift Control and Cables
CAUTION
Shift control and shift cable must position transmission shift lever exactly as stated
in this manual, or transmission, as a result of improper shift lever positioning, will
not be covered by Velvet Drive Warranty.
IMPORTANT: Velvet Drive Warranty is jeopardized if the shift lever poppet ball or
spring is permanently removed, or if shift lever is repositioned or changed in any
manner.
Remote control also must provide a total shift cable travel (at transmission end) of at least
2-3/4
in. (70 mm). This is necessary to position transmission shift lever fully in the forward
and reverse gear positions. Insufficient shift cable travel will cause transmission to slip and
eventually fail.
Engine
Engine rotation is indicated on engine specifications and serial number decal on the engine.
Engine rotation is described when observed from the rear of the engine (transmission end)
looking forward (water pump end).
Installed angle of MIE inboard transmission and engine should not exceed a maximum of
18
° of the water line.
